Images From The Meadowlark, May 4, 1951

The ads that appeared in this issue of the Meadowbrook Junior High School student newspaper have provided a pretty fair picture of what the East Side of Ft. Worth was like 57 years ago. Now let’s go thru the paper page by page to see some of the things that were important to them way back when.

First up is a photo of the graduating class of 1951. Notice that they were still taking class photos outdoors with part of the building as a backdrop.

For those of you with sharp enough eyes, just above is the original caption that listed all of the graduates appearing in the photograph. Not able to read it? For your convenience, I've retyped the entire caption is easier to read font size. The names of the students are:
